Is this a bobbit worm?

received 30lb of KP aquatics live rock yesterday. I am afraid I know the answer already but there are tons of these in my rock so if they need eviction, I've got my work cut out for me

I sure hope you're right! I asked chatgpt and it said the same thing but I didn't believe it.

Looks like a eunice antennata or a other related species. Actual bobbits in the aquarium are extremely rare. The verdict is still out on reef safe or not. There just isn't much information available on them for hobbiest.
